KAIA: seen all your content lately... KAIA: cross my heart and hope to die, i'm not jealous. not even a little jealous.. KAIA: it's not like she's gorgina or anything. KAIA: i'm perfectly fine.. KAIA: i love you? ( @jwooycung )

[jwooycung]

WOOYOUNG: not sure if i need to be concerned that it sounds like you're asking instead of telling me? but i love you too, full stop. WOOYOUNG: and you shouldn't be but, but the record: you're gorgeous, i haven't been thinking about anything but you and how i can prevent myself from turning into a vaguely human-shaped puddle before we next see each other (the humidity just might take me out) but even if that last part wasn't true? no one else even registers. WOOYOUNG: do you think it'd be too much to invest in a walk-in freezer just so i can stand in it? WOOYOUNG: miss you, wish you were here.

[jwooycung]

WOOYOUNG: listen, if there had been some way to pack you up into my suitcase and take you with me to milan i would've made it happen immediately but i don't know if i could've gotten away with it at security? WOOYOUNG: just ignore the sannie-shaped lump, everything's fine!! WOOYOUNG: we can try it next time and kaia says hi back, again: she wants to make sure we're both getting enough rest during comeback? i feel like we need a group chat at this point.

WOOYOUNG Leemujin Service EP.221

[kaigerber]

hey now, it's not like i'm expecting you to paint your face white and blue like william wallace. for one, we're also missing the location, like a large scottish field, so a pot lid and a spatula is more than sufficient. i can almost promise i'll grant you access to my chastity belt if you defeat it. ew, now why would you put that into my head? one thing is my trembling fear that it will hypnotize me as we lock eyes for minutes and i become the next mrs. tarantula. but another is that you've now put into my head that it would've used sneak attacks had it not been determined to see the fear coursing through my body. sicko.. like caesar would say: thumbs down. crush it.

[jwooycung]

true, i would've hit coupang up for a costume sword but if i can't swing it around while i'm running (and definitely not tripping) through the grass there's really no point. go big or don't bother? also, almost? i think you would even if i somehow managed to fail but i can work for it if you really want me to. i'm just sharing the daydream, what do you mean.. you can tell me all of yours, spider-related or not. so if i come home one day and you're in a trance i should worry, potentially. got it. i could probably youtube how to reverse hypnotism though, no way it'd go sideways. can we just... never talk about how long it took me again? it's not my fault it kept disappearing into the void only to pop up on the other side of the kitchen.

ATEEZ - GOLDEN HOUR: Part 5 Concept Trailer

[kaigerber]

are you also going to roar "for kaia!" as you run into battle? and have i recently watched braveheart? yes.. go on, king. defend my honor against the oversized spider. and why are you calling me out like that? had i not lined the chairs up like the floor was lava, who knows what could've happened? eight legs against my two, i never stood a chance if it decided to run toward me. i actually think i was being pretty smart in the moment. so maybe it wasn't sprinting, but i could tell it was plotting something, and i, for one, was not about to take that chance. hence why i called for backup.

[jwooycung]

that's the plan although if we're comparing me to braveheart i don't know if i'll quite be able to live up to it if i'm not rocking a sword and shield? unless i borrow your spatula and grab a moderately sized pot lid to fend it off with, both effective and equally as badass, filmmakers take note. listen, i just have faith that you would've been able to get away even if it were headed straight for you, as long as you could still see it because it's when they suddenly disappear that you have to worry. where'd it go? is it going to drop down from the ceiling? how'd it get up there so fast? and then you start thinking maybe you've got a mutant spider on your hands and the whole situation goes (significantly more) sideways. we can't have a scheming arachnid on our hands but is it enough if i throw it outside or must it be destroyed?

[kaigerber]

when you come back from the convenience store, i need you to go head to head with the spider that's currently making deep eye contact with me from across the kitchen. i'm currently standing on top of the kitchen island, clutching a spatula. so, like, if you could come back soon'ish, that would be great. we've been staring at each other for the past five minutes and i'm pretty sure neither of us is backing down. ( @jwooycung )

[jwooycung]

okay, i'm headed back and ready to fight in your honor but i do want to know: is that five minutes as in that's entirely how long you've been hanging out on the island or five minutes since you returned after strategically lining chairs up across the floor in a path to your phone because you didn't have it with you and were afraid of the spider catching onto your plan? and making a mad leap toward the hardwood to chase you? only if you were walking on it, i mean, no way it'd climb to get to you.

JUNGKOOK: here's my official invite for you to come to milan and entertain me. JUNGKOOK: one, i kind of miss hanging out with you. two, pretty sure you need a small vacation away from korea. ( @jwooycung )

[jwooycung]

WOOYOUNG: hongjoong might kill me with comeback so close but if i leave the country before he notices it should be fine, honestly. WOOYOUNG: but one, ditto and two, you're not wrong. ETA 15 hours because all that's left were connecting flights, further proof that expedia has it out for me. WOOYOUNG: kaia's visiting so she'll be coming with, if that's okay?

WOOYOUNG in the GOLDEN HOUR PART 5: CONCEPT TRAILER

[kaigerber]

just wanted to say that i miss you, you're hot, and that i can't wait to see you again, whenever that may be. i tried looking up your schedule but google apparently still hasn't caught up since your tour.. so maybe this would be a good opportunity to ask if you'd share your calendar with me? not sure if that's too soon or anything, but it would make my life easier so i don't accidentally call you in the middle of an interview or a vlog shoot. ( @jwooycung )

[jwooycung]

if we're trading status updates, or something like it: i miss you too, you're beautiful, and i'll try to make a trip out there happen asap. it felt weird traveling home without you, largely because i kept looking over to say something to you except it was a stranger sitting next to me which could've sent the situation spiraling in so many different directions? i can see the headlines now: "some guy from that one band (we'll figure out who he is later) acts unhinged on transpacific flight, more at 11." but no, i can send it over.. it's not too soon. we're getting back into those it's still dark out, why am i even awake right now work hours so there's a solid chance i'll be getting up as you're going to bed, or at least close to it. is this where we start a goodnight video call ritual?

WOOYOUNG ♡ FEELING LIKE I DO for @cosmicdreamgrl ♡

[freyaallcn]

Not straight away, no. I've got a little bit of time before I have to properly switch my brain back on again, which I'm honestly very grateful for because I think if someone put me on a set the day after getting back, I'd just stare at them blankly. I completely get what you mean, there's definitely a sweet spot. I think the problem is that trips like this completely destroy your sense of time in the best possible way. After a few days of going to sleep whenever, waking up with no real urgency, and having nowhere serious to be, your brain starts convincing you that this is just how life should work permanently only for you to rip it away again a few days later. It's cruel, really. Jet lag isn't even the hardest part anymore. What about you? Are you back at work right away?

[jwooycung]

okay, i can't blame you there. i imagine i'd need cue cards in that position and i'm not even talking for something like you'd be doing where you're required to memorize multiple pages of dialogue? get me in front of a camera on day one after a flight like that and it'll be a miracle if i'm able to introduce myself properly. but they really do, i used to be good at adjusting my schedule to whatever it needed to be with no issues and i can't remember exactly when it stopped being easy but i'm wondering if it's something that naturally goes away once you reach a certain stage? like some sort of "you can no longer stay up until 2am and not suffer (for what feels like) forever" checkpoint. we have an album coming out next month so i did have to jump back into things pretty quickly but i got lucky and had about a 24-hour grace period? so it definitely could've been worse.

[yvngbokie]

lix: i'd be up for hiking! it has been too long. feel like i only see you in passing if our groups are doing promos at the same time. miss getting to talk to you, youngie. lix: oh! i hope she does. a hike with two of my favorite people sounds nice. i'd probably bring jinnie if he wants to go. been with him most of the time during this trip.

[jwooycung]

WOOYOUNG: perfect! and i know, everyone is so busy in between comebacks too that i feel like any sort of hangout is going to have to start being strategically planned. do i have the brainpower for that? maybe. WOOYOUNG: i shouldn't have any trouble convincing her, especially since you'll be there but i hope you've been doing well outside of work? have you guys been on any of the outings or just relaxing for the most part?

[infinitichvse]

oh, don't worry, you're far from alone. it took me at least 10 attempts to make something you could actually drink that didn't taste like motor oil or something like that. did you get a little crazy on your failed experiments?

[jwooycung]

there may have been a point where i decided that throwing whatever i wanted in was a great idea, best decision ever made? mixing taken to the extreme and in hindsight, more is not better, it's a wonder i was able to function the next day. the motor oil comparison is too real, honestly. did you give up after you'd finally managed it or take it as a sign to keep going?

[kmmingyvs]

it's fine, man. i get it. it's been a bit since i've heard from any of the ateez members so thought i'd reach out. yup, all finished. i'm glad to relax and the trip did help. probably will enjoy myself at home and drag one of the other members somewhere since i know they missed me.

[jwooycung]

that's good to hear but i'm glad you did and and honestly, i'm right there with you. i almost forget what it's like to actually be able to sit at home and not have to be anywhere sometimes? like if it's for more than a few days it feels like i've entered a parallel dimension where my alarm doesn't go off at 4am and it's great but also weird and i want to go home. i hope you're able to though! make the most of how nice out it's been.

[svngminki]

youngie~ you gonna spend time with me or am i gonna have to bother someone else? i feel i see seonghwa hyung and san more when we aren't all busy working. i gotta change that. not that i dislike the two of them, i just need to be around everyone. @jwooycung

[jwooycung]

please, just say when and i'm there?? especially before we get too busy with comeback and the festivals coming up this summer, i'm excited for it all but it'd be nice to get some proper time in together before it all kicks off and we're stuck running on minimal sleep and the sheer will to keep going in between practice and music shows. we could order in and do a movie night or something, unless you wanted to get out of the house?

[merylstreepblvd]

I agree that it is already going so fact. I haven't done any yet. But I will. Its been a busy time recently so I was going to relax anyway. Have you?

[jwooycung]

i went to the mixology class and admittedly wasn't great at it but it was still a good time! after that, i kind of just saw where the rest of the weekend took me - checked out a few things that weren't on the itinerary. what did your favorite part of the trip end up being?
